was Lezak's final leg. A body length down to the WR holder at the turn. Some would think, I have to hold on for 2nd place.
Not Lezak. Where the hell did that come from with 25 to go. What an absolutely GUT CHECK. 46.0 split?
Way to go guys. Way to go. I'm sitting here just absolutely amazed.
I saw somewhere something about Phelps becoming a bit blase about gold medals, maybe he didn't react enough to his wins at trials, etc. etc. etc.
Think he didn't want that one last night? That shot of him standing at the block just willing Lezak to bring it home and hit the wall first, and his reaction when he saw the scoreboard, said it all. Rowdy may have given up on the gold about 35m into Lezak's swim, but Lezak and Phelps never did.
Cullen Jones may not have worn a Nike suit, but I think Nike is probably glad it invested in him.
Great job, guys.
